The funniest pictures around ?... here there are:

The Sumo wrestler (number one)

End of level monster (number two)

Wrong ! Never bite your tongue when sparring ! (number three)

Look closley at the painting below. Look at the dog's "dick". Now, if I delete the "dick", do you think I'll get an increase in sales ?

I need some feedback. So if you read this, please add a comment with your opinion. Thank you !

If you get the feeling that you photographed everything, or lack imagination when stock-working just do the following:

- make a list of your favourite 10 categories

- pick one of the categories randomly and draw/photograph something on that subject

- next day you pick another subject...

..and now a little exercise of creativity... (sometimes its hard to photo something from that special category you just picked):

- open any book and put your finger on the surface of any page at random.... look.. it will be a word you picked.. try to combine that word with the specific cathegory.

Here's an example:

Suppose you have the "business-metaphor" cathegory and you take a book and accidentally place your finger on the word "heart". Then you get the idea of drawing a heart exploding ...

Combining art and commerce is not easy, but it's not impossible. Nothing goes 100% perfect, so you cannot become the perfect artist and the perfect seller together.

(if you are a new reader here is the first article: Episode I )

The cool part is that you can enhance your alchemy with no limits. You cannot become 100% perfect but you can go up the ladder as much as you can and like... and the ladder is infinitely long. There is so much freedom in this.

Now let's get to business. Let me give you some examples. For instance, what I call an artistic approach on Dreamstime would be the picture below:

Now a commercial approach is this one:

...

I asked myself: "How can I be a happy dreamstimer?" It's quite easy if you look around: have fun and win a lot of $$$ .. duuhh

But there are two specific extremes:

- The genius artist - he wins some money when people like his masterpiece, but he is hurt when the other true masterpieces get 0 downloads for months or especially when they get rejected from the start.

- The selling manager - he is the kind of guy that would do almost anything to sell more... he would work 24hrs/day without interruption. He would not be interested in the content of his work, except its value in gold.. just produce more and sell more.

Now the first loves his work but is unhappy with the feedback. The second is running like a mouse in a cage but as long as he gets money for that... it worths the hardwork....
